What: Vincent D'Onofrio is Sam, a guy who claims to have traveled from the future. (This seems to be about right, correct?) He reveals this to girlfriend Ruby (Marisa Tomei), who has a history of bad relationship choices, and she struggles to determine whether Sam is delusional or actually telling the truth. Delightfully, the movie also features delightful Holland Taylor and delightful Tovah Feldshuh.
Comparable to: It's actually very Next Stop Wonderland-ish . . . largely because both films are from writer-director Brad Anderson.
Representative quote: "You're gay! You're a Jew for Jesus? It's that tattoo. It's a cult. You're in a cult. You're a Branch Davidian? You're a survivalist?"
You might not like it if: You really, really haven't liked Vincent D'Onofrio since his L&O twitches. Would it help if I told you he's more likable here than he's been since he was Thor in Adventures in Babysitting?
How to get it: Well, Amazon seems very determined to let everyone know that it's available for instant viewing/renting. Also available to watch instantly on Netflix. Basically, you could easily watch it today. Instantly!
I think I'm one of the ten people in the country who saw and loved Next Stop, Wonderland (Hillary, I'd like to italicize the title per style but I can't format text here), so I'm very much looking forward to seeing this. And I've long been a fan of Vincent D'Onofrio's, and long before his quirky/odd/weird-ness was on display weekly on "Law & Order: Criminal Intent."
